A really awesome shot of a Class 150 passenger train at Hazel Grove. Shown are a Class 150/2 unit no. 150222 and Class 150/1 no. 150146 arriving at Hazel Grove with the 1423 service from Preston. Class 180 ‘Adelante’ units recently acquired by Northern Rail are due to take over this service soon. The perspective on this shot makes it really stand out. I wish there was a higher resolution shot.

Photo Information

The perspective and the foreground of the train is just right in this shot. Its clever how the image fades away to a more complex function. The colour signals in the foreground really make this image pop.
